Simply Chocolate Tart

Before the discovery of this wonderfully simple tart shell recipe, I had zero desire to dabble in pastry of any kind. It’s way much easier paying for a pretty slice than to go through all the hassle of rubbing cold butter into flour etc. Now I’ve actually bookmarked this for a long time but it wasn’t until last week that I FINALLY got around to giving it a go. The result was a tart crust so easy and so crisp and flaky that the hubby, who is normally indifferent to desserts, declared it the best tart he has ever eaten!

And so for my inaugural tart, I decided to make a pure ganache filling for my dark chocolate loving family. The ganache is a recipe from a Japanese dessert book and very simple to make as well. One bite and it was sheer decadence!

The tart was extrememly well received, especially by my Dad. Baked last Tuesday and this was the last wedge the following evening.

A real keeper, this recipe. Armed with it, I can’t wait to experiment with more tart fillings!
